Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 4.5 Claim for
HandYtrans Operations
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer J �
REVIEWED BY: City Manager (4/5ths Vote: Yes No x )
The City of Chula Vista' s FY 1985-86 Article 4.5 claim to support HandYtrans
operation in the amount of $176,756 was submitted to SANDAG and MDTB on April
1 , 1985. State law requires that the claim be submitted by April 1 , 1985.
The claim amount is based upon an allocation formula of Article 4.5 funds
adopted by the SANDAG Board in February 1985.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve submission of the FY 1985-86 Article
4.5 TDA claim.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The FY 1985-86 Article 4.5 claim in the amount of $176,756 is the same TDA
funding level allocated for HandYtrans for FY 1984-85. Because of a regional
shortfall in Article 4.5 funds, a committee representing all Article 4.5
operators developed an allocation formula in conjunction with SANDAG staff.
This formula, which was adopted by the SANDAG Board, essentially freezes the
HandYtrans allocation for FY 1985-86 at the FY 1984-85 level .
Following is a breakdown of estimated operating costs and funding sources for
HandYtrans operation in FY1985-86, assuming the existing service level :
Operating Costs
$199,180 Contract with Community Transit Services
76,970 Coordination project with Regional Center/Starlight Center
16,390 Other supplies and services
$292,540 Total
Funding Sources
$176,756 TDA Article 4.5
76,970 Reimbursement from Regional Center
24,900 Fares
1 ,500 Investment earnings
$280,126 Total

Meeting Date 4/9/85
Subtracting the estimated funding amount of $280,126 from the operating costs
of $292,540 results in a shortfall of $12,414. The Transit Coordinator is
analyzing options to meet this projected shortfall . These options will be
presented to the SCOOT Elderly and Handicapped Transportation Advisory
Committee on April 17, 1985. A report to Council will be made after
consideration by the SCOOT Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT: HandYtrans operation for FY 1985-86 is funded by TDA Article
4.5 funds, Regional Center funds, farebox revenue, and investment earnings.
Based on the current service level , a funding shortfall estimated at $12,414
exists for FY 1985-86. The Transit Coordinator is analyzing options to meet
this shortfall .
